The Institute of Management Accountants has an active chapter on the campus of MTSU.
The chapter is currently supervised by Dr. Jeannie Harrington. This group holds bi-weekly
meetings which frequently feature outside speakers. The chapter also meets once a
semester with the Nashville IMA chapter, where students have an opportunity to meet
with professionals attending the meeting as well as to hear speakers. The association
between the MTSU chapter and the Nashville chapter facilitates the corporate match-up
program, whereby students are given the opportunity to go to an IMA member’s office
and observe their daily work. The chapter also tours businesses on a regular basis.
Previous tours have included the Dell and Aladdin Manufacturing facilities in Nashville.

Members are invited to attend monthly Nashville IIA Chapter meetings free of charge
where they will have the opportunity to hear speakers and network with practitioners.
